Role Purpose:
This role will require you to work in a small but dynamic team tasked with creating a new technology platform to power the way we handle online multiplayer racing on our games and simulations. We’ll be creating a new way to interact with online racing to ensure multiplayer racing is delivered in a fun and engaging way.
Our competition system is currently being developed almost entirely from scratch and will have to interface with our games to showcase stored data, as well as provide functionality and insights to gamers.
Reporting to the project lead, you’ll need to implement designs from working with our UI/UX designers within the team and across the business. You’ll be primarily tasked with implementing designs for our game-integrated web browser-based system as well as our hosted hub accessible via web browsers.
